A member asked:

I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. what are the symptoms of this illness? i have severe lethargy and severe body pain. are they related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Was there any mention of facet arthritis as well? In pure degenerative disc disease there's usually loss of spinal flexibility, back pain&spasms, possible nerve root impingement radiating to thigh,buttocks or leg with or without sensory symptoms like numbness,pins & needles. Leg weakness is a worrisome symptom requiring surgical relief of nerve root compression by a herniated intervertebral disc
